The author takes you through the techniques of feltmaking but goes on to show you how to embellish and colour the felt - including using velvets and silks and ruching methods - and then construct garments and accessories from it.The book covers: how to make basic felt; embellishing felt; corsages; earrings and other jewellery; scarves; nuno felt techniques; hat-making; felt sleeveless top; felt skirt; felt jacket, including nuno felt jacket; and, felt coat. With clear instructions, construction patterns and stunning images of felted fashions from a range of felters, this is a great book on a subject growing in popularity (word count: 25,000). It features a range of techniques and patterns for making felted fashion items. It also covers things from felt corsages, scarves and hats to felt jackets and coats.
